When she was six, she needed them more than ever: She had to go through brain-cancer surgery and MRI scans, but she was told she couldn't take her favourite dolls with her into the magnetic (磁性的) machine because they had metal in them. So Cecily and her mom, Cathy-a home-schooler of seven kids and a professional doll maker in Westlock-got creative. Together, they made a special doll, using weighted glass and other MRJ-safe materials, that could stay with Cecily during the long imaging appointments. Besides the materials it was made with, the doll was uniaue in that it had no facial features "That's so they can have any emotion." says Cecily, who was inspired to create these dolls, called “Blessing Babies", for other sick kids. She and her mom began creating more, donating some to children's hospitals and selling others to fundraise. Due to high demand, they invited other doll makers to work alongside them. Soon, doll makers worldwide also began contributing, sending boxes of their handmade dolls to support the cause Cecily's initiatives grew. She began selling handmade furry puppies and inspirational clothing patches, in addition to running toy drives and fundraisers for various charities. Including monetary and gift donations, Cecily has raised more than $200,oo0 so far Cecily's generosity caught the attention of another well-known Edmontonian, the Oilers' power forward Evander Kane, who met her in the press box at a game, when he was recovering from ar injured wrist. Kane gave her a shirt with his name on it, and in exchange she gave him a patch that read "Scars are tattoos (纹身) with better stories." Today Cecily calls herself a brain-cancer survivor and "childhood cancer awareness fighter," but she is still followed closely by her team at the children's hospital. When asked for advice on successful fundraising, she emphasizes the importance of generosity. "You don't get poor by giving," Cecily says "Because you always get something back, one way or another." 24. Why did Cecily need her baby dolls more at the age of 6? A. Because they were very adorable B. Because they could treat her illness C. Because they could offer her comfort D. Because they all had metal in them 25. What makes "Blessing Babies" unique A. They are made with simple glass B. They have no facial expressions C. They help raise money for charities D. They are produced by sick children 26. Why does the author mention Evander Kane? A.

Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. Generosity: the Key to Friendship B. Baby Dolls: the Comfort to Kids C. Creating Comforts for Kids With Cance D. A Little Fighter against Childhood Cance 高三英语 第4页 共10页 1 CS 扫描全能王 5亿人郡在用日画A C Be honest: how often does your social media scrolling lead to shopping? And how many of those things that TikTok made you buy did you actually need? Enter de-influencing, the TikTok trend aiming to save our bank balances in the process. De-influencing is the TikTok trend with hundreds of millions of views that's challenging the promotion around so-called popular products by telling you what you shouldn't buy, instead of what you should. It's a response to a few different things, including a general feeling of over-consumption and the cost of living crisis "People are experiencing a general social media fatigue (厌倦) at the moment," says makeup artist and beauty content creator Rose Gallagher. "Originally, user-generated content was so popular because people tended to share thoughts on things that they had purchased themselves with no real connection to the brand. Now, with so much to be gained from giving a positive review, it has become harder to tel the genuine reviews from those influenced by the potential for earning." How is de-influencing different from influencing? It sounds progressive, but once you scratch the surface, there isn't a huge difference between influencing and de-influencing."It's still influence but it's telling people what not to buy," says Kendall. While TikTokers may be warning consumers away from expensive or well-known products, some continue to influence by telling consumers what they shoulc buy instead. Being honest and authentic has the potential to pay off, too. While criticizing big brands may reduce an influencer's chances of landing a new deal in the short term, it also may increase their long-term reach as they gain a reputation for being trustworthy. Sparking debates over whether a product works or not can also drive sales for brands, as consumers respond by wanting to try it for themsellves What is different about de-influencing is encouraging consumers to take a moment to think about whether they need a product and whether it's right for them versus whether they're simply being influenced because it's new, popular, or exciting. This is part of a bigger movement in beauty 28. Why does the author pose the two questions in paragraph1? A. To test readers' honesty B. To present people's doubts C. To introduce the topic of the passage D. To give a warning against social media 29. According to the passage, which is NOT a factor that causes de-influencing? A. An overall feeling of over-consumption B. The high cost of the tough modern life C. The increasing number of genuine reviews. D. People's behaviour of buying more than needed 30. In what way is de-influencing similar to influencing according to the author? A. Staying honest and authentic in face of profits B. Guiding consumers' decisions on purchasing C. Warning consumers away from expensive products D. Leading customers to try products by sparking debates 高三英语 第5页 共10页 CS 扫描全能王 3亿人郡在用目 31. What is the writer's attitude towards de-influencing? A. Doubtful. B. Objective. C. Disapproving. D. Sympathetic D A review into whether wildlife conservation projects around the world actually work has found success in two-thirds of cases. However, conservationists such as wildlife presenter Chris Packham have warned that much more work is needed in order to make a difference in tackling biodiversity crisis. "It's important to celebrate success," Packham told BBC Science Focus. "But at the same time, one of the reasons I would argue we haven't done enough is that we've been too timid. We've been asking politely rather than demanding directly. Now we're running out of time." The new study, published in the journal Science, involved scientists from universities and institutions around the world. To evaluate the overall impact of conservation work, they considered 186 conservation projects, frbm local to continental scales, with a measurable impact. They collected and standardized data on biodiversity levels before and after the projects. The most successful conservation, they found, targeted species and ecosystems. These efforts included projects like invasive (入侵的) species control, reducing habitat loss and restoring habitats protecting areas and managing ecosystems sustainably. Here, "success" meant either improving biodiversity or at least slowing down its decline Many international conservation goals have yet to be met, but the new study argues this is because researchers haven't previously understood what the impact of wildlife conservation may be. Knowing whether current conservation methods are successful could help to create more accurate targets While celebrations for individual species and local areas may be in order, the researchers say the scale of conservation must be significantly increased, "particularly beyond the traditional conservation field." if we're going to solve the global biodiversity crisis. Threats to species have been caused by human-generated climate change, habitat destruction and pollution. "While we've been recording these disastrous declines, we have also been putting together this toolkit (工具箱) for recovery," Packham said. "But as the paper very sadly and accurately points out, we simply haven't been doing it rapidly and broadly enough. That's the bottom line." 32. Which of the following is true about the review? A. It is written by a wildlife presenter B. It is praised by many conservationists C. It shows the positive results of conservation efforts. D. It calls for more work to tackle biodiversity crisis. 33. What does the underlined word "timid" mean in paragraph 2? B.Proud. C.Frank. A.Cautious. D.Brave. 34. How can the new study help further wildlife conservation? A. By collecting various data B. By reducing habitat loss. C. By targeting species and ecosystems D. By deciding on more accurate targets 高三英语 第6页 共10页 C$ 扫描全能王 5亿人郡在用日画A 35. What are the last two paragraphs mainly about? A. Reports on the current success in conservation B. Advantages of recording the declines of species C. Significance of broadening the conservation scale D.

Whether it's the office Christmas party or New Year's Eve, socializing fills many people with fear. If all the parties over the festive period stressed you out, the first thing to say is you're not alone. 36 The reason for this is the way we evolved. 37 That's why we have developed instincts (本能) to care a lot about social stuff, are so concerned about things like reputation and status, and are afraid of making a fool of ourselves or being left out. But don't forget, social occasions are an opportunity, not just a threat. 38 So as an initial step towards reducing your anxiety, try boosting your hopefulness about these events. For example, remind yourself of occasions-however rare they might be-when things went well and you had a fun time or you made new friends 39 Rather than waiting for the obligations (义务) to roll in and hang over you like a dark cloud, be clear about which ones you really want. If there are friends you'd love to go with, don't wait for them to ask you-reach out and make it happen Indeed, excessive self-focus is one of the main drivers of social anxiety. Constantly monitoring your own behaviour and words will fuel your nerves and lead you to act more awkwardly. 40 You can even give yourself another if-then plan to help with it: if I find myself being self-focused, then I'll make a conscious effort to focus on what someone is saying or wearing. Like all challenges in life we find difficult, socializing gets easier with practice A. Next, be a little strategic and active. B. Don't overestimate how people judge you. C. Your friends probably like you more than you realize. D. You can focus your attention outwards to reduce anxiety. E. Actually, feeling nervous about socializing is incredibly common. F. Throughout history, humans needed to work in groups to stay alive G. They're a chance to create shared memories, bond and have fun together 第三部分语言运用(共两节,满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分) 阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项 I was 13 back then, standing at the kitchen table, my long hair hanging almost to my waist.
